Cannot print .pdf attachments in Outlook 2010 on local usb printer using the lastest Adobe Reader

We can't print pdf attachments from Outlook 2010 on a users local printer via usb with the latest Adobe Reader but it can print to a network copier. We can print from the local printer emails, webpages, regular pdf's on the hard drive.
Please advise and thanks.

What is the behavior that you are seeing? Are you getting some error or is it simply failing to print with Reader 10.1.2.

Update 2-7-12
When doing a quick print with a right click on the pdf attachment, it will print.
Also, please let me know that if a simple Right Click > Print operation is working, then what exactly is the operation that is failing.

Opening Pdf Attachments From outlook 2010

Good day I'm having problems with a user where he has to click a pdf attachement multiple times before it will open and the adobe proccess stays open after the document is closed so after a while there are like 20 adobe processes open.
Please advise on a solution as this is extreamly urgent.
The user uses Office 2010 and windows 7 64bit
Thanks

Hi Michael
The thing is the first time you double click the attachment nothing happens the second it will open and even after closing adobe reader the process will stay open and does not close so after a while it keeps getting slower and slower.
I have tried reinstalling Adobe multiple times does not help i have also disabled the start-up screen via the registry setting still the same problem.
Thanks in advance for the help

Can´t open pdf attachment in Outlook 2010 after inst. Reader X

Hi!
Today I updated Reader from 9 to 10.1.2 - I did not face any problems with the installation.
But now I can not open any pdf attachment in Outlook 2010 (Reader opens and closes immediately) if Reader X is not running.
When the Reader is allready running I can open the files without problems.
When I save the file on my desctop I can also open it - also if reader is not allready running.
I un- and reinstalled the reader fiew times, also tried the repair tool - nothing helped.
I receive a lot of pdf Files - any help would be great.

Did you try this? It worked for me.

Open up Adobe Reader X
On the Toolbar Menu go to Edit > Preferences
Go to the general tab under Categories.
Untick “Enable Protected Mode at Startup”
If asked if sure, click Yes and then Ok.
Now close Adobe Reader X and try opening the PDF again.

Can't Attach PDF Document to Outlook 2010 X64

I am using Adobe Reader 9.4.1 on a Windows 7 Ultimate X64 with Office 2010 Pro X64.
My Outlook 2010 is already set as the default email client (and works perfectly when attaching files to email using the "sent to email recipient" with all other software installed on my machine).
When I try to attach a PDF document to an email, within the Adobe Reader, I first get a Windows 7 generated message saying I need to set default email client (although I already did it) and after I press ok, I get an Adobe Reader error message simply saying the there was an error with attaching the document.
I read in this forum that as of August 2010 the Adobe Reader doesn't support 64 bit (Windows 7 & Office 2010) which sounds as false. I think that it can't be so...
I have to mention that I had the exact same problem with a different software (Nuance OmniPage Professional 17) and after searching Google for it I found a solution in editing the software's ini files and it solved the issue. Obviously I don't know how to find this solution by myself (I am not a PC programmer or something like that) but I have a good feeling that there should be some sort of a solution like that to the problem on hand.
Please help....
Thanks.

Issues working with Attachments in Outlook 2010

I have 2, possibly related, problems with Outlook 2010 and email attachments.
1/ When opening a mail with attachments I cannot drag multiple attachments out to save in a folder at once. the first attachment selected will be saved, but not subsequent ones. Nor can I do a multiple-select and Save As via the right-click menu.
The only way around this I have found is to drag or save each document individually
2/ When opening Excel sheets (Excel 2010) directly from email, the first sheet will open normally. But if I try to open a second sheet, whether from the same email or a different one, the second sheet doesn't open.
The only work-around i have found is to close the first sheet I opened and/or to save the second sheet to disk and then open it explicitly in a new copy of Excel
Can you give me any help in resolving these annoying behaviours?
Many thanks
Tim

Hi Tim,
R1. If we open the email with attachments, on the Message tab, in the
Actions group, click Other Actions, and then select
Save All Attachments, will all the attachment been saved?
R2. Did you get any error message when the second sheet failed to open? Please open one Excel file, click File > Options > Advanced and then scroll down to
General section. Clear the option “Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)” and then check the issue again.
In addition, we can try to run Outlook in safe mode to check the result. Press Windows key + R, type
outlook.exe /safe in the Run dialog and press Enter.
Also try to clear Outlook Secure Temp folder to check the result. See:
http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/securetemp.htm
Please let me know the result.

Steve Fan

Reading 'pdf' attachments to Outlook Express Email

I can't read 'pdf' attachments to my Outlook Express mail. I get an Error Message "This message does not have a program associated with it"
However, I can save the message to my computer 'My Documents' and it then opens fine with Adobe Reader. Adobe Reader is associated with 'pdf' files in Control Panel - Folder Options.
Computer: Compact Presario
System: Windows XP
Outlook Espress 6
Adobe Reader 8
Thanks,
Darleen

all versions of MS operating system handle this sort of differently but here is the general approach
(windows 7):
control panel -> associate file type or protocol with a specific program -> scroll down to PDF
if you have successfully installed ADOBE, you should see that as a choice, click on it and your system will update so now in OUTLOOK all PDF files will be opened by ADOBE, simple but not very straight forward.

Rundll32 error when opening a PDF attachment from Outlook 2010

The computer is a 32 bit Win7. Outlook is 2010 for business. Everything was working fine until 4 days ago. Now have to save the pdf to the desktop and open it from there.
Any ideas?
Thanks

The rundll32 error seems to have disappeared. Until this morning I had both this error and the rundll32. All other types of docs open fine. This one will open if saved to the desktop first, but not from Outlook.

Trouble Printing PDF Attachments in Outlook as "Fit to Printable Area"

If this has been discussed before, I apologize. I wasn't able to find the exact problem...
We use Outlook 2007 and Reader X here in my office. When we try to print an email w/ a PDF attachment, the attachment is not printing as "Fit to Printable Area," resulting in very tiny printed PDFs. If we open the PDF on its own, "Fit to Printable Area" is selected by default and the attachment prints as it should. The weird thing is... this is only a problem for some users. For others, the attachments always print as "Fit to Printable Area," even when printed at the same time as the email. Is there some kind of default setting for "Fit to Printable Area" that specifically applies to PDF email attachments? Is there some other reason why this problem only affects some users? Everyone is using Windows XP and we're all going to the same printer.
Thanks!
EDIT: Does any one have any ideas on this at all? Thanks again.

In the past, I have overriden the Print dialog with my own dialog..
I've called the print function with param5 = true

Have problem saving or viewing PDF attachments in outlook email

I can't open or save attachments that are PDF in outlook email. I can save other attachments, wich leads me to believe maybe this is related to the ADOBE READER not set right.
Get error message that says, "Can't create file: PURCHASEORDER.pdf. Right-click the folder you want to create the file in, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu to check your permissions for the folder."
I am trying to save to desktop. Have tried other folders too without success.
Any help would be appriciated.
Regards,
BennyBBB

I don't have a problem opening PDF files attached to e-mail on either my MacBook Pro or my iPad 2. Are they not showing up as attachments, or are the attachments failing to open?

Pdf attachments from Outlook calendar

I synchronize manually. I just noticed that a pdf attachment to my Outlook calendar will not sychronize as a readable attachment on my Blackberry calendar. It saysthere is a pdf file there but only the heading and not the attachment. This is handy when travelling so that I can attach my flight confirmation.
Any help is appreciated....Thx

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
If your Curve is like most BB's, then PDF's are not natively viewble on it. When PDF's come in as an email attachment, they are viewable via the email attachment service. But all other means require a bit of additional software on the device. The To-Go apps that come free with most BB's do not handle PDF's...the $$$ premium edition does handle them. Plus there are other PDF add-ons (BeamReader?) that are cheaper (so I hear) that also handle PDFs.
Basically, since it's a Calendar attachment, the email attachment service is not invoked -- hence it is unviewable without something added.
Hope that heps!

Opening PDF attachments in Outlook 2003 with Adobe 8.1

Everytime I attempt to open a Pdf file that is attached to an e-mail, It opens in Excel, even though it is not an excel spreadsheet.

The can only open it on their machine if they save the pdf attachment after renaming it. All computers on the network have the latest Outlook 2003 updates, so it puzzles me that only three end users with the same version of Outlook 2003, with the same updates, are not able to view the attachment from Outlook, but the other users can. Also, why do those three end users have to rename the file if the save it to the their computer to be able to view it, but no one else has to. And, it is not every pdf attachment either, just some from certain people that send them an e-mail. Really puzzling issue that I need to get resolved...

Can Not Open PDF Attachments

I can not open PDF attachments from outlook 2010. I am running windows 8 and using Adobe version 11.0.2 If I save the file to desktop, then it will allow me to open it and print it.
Thanks in advance for yor help.
the error says it can not open the file because it is unsupported or corrupt.

If you can't open the attachment, have your client/ customer or whatever fix their defective copy of Outlook and send real mail attachments not TNEF encoded rubbish. They are spewing defective email every time they click send on a mail with an attachment.
